Starting a new thread since the last one was getting long.

So 11 Nov is among us; tomorrow is going to be a long day waiting for the lack of an announcement.  

Since when have stock traders been waiting for lack of news?  Sounds kind of absurd.

NEWS OUT TODAY....................................

BARRIE, ONTARIO, Nov 28, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Winning Brands Corporation (PINK SHEETS: WNBD)(FRANKFURT: WMU) www.WinningBrands.ca reports that it has finalized mutual operational commitments with Wings & Ink merchandising services group www.Wingsink.com to implement a "Best in Class" in-store merchandising program to take Winning Colours Stain Remover sales management to the next level with key national accounts in Canada, which currently include Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, and Canadian Tire amongst others. With a National Field Team of over 1,000 Field Representatives, Wings & Ink is in a position to implement Winning Brands' oversight of planogram integrity for store convenience, best product presentation, accurate ordering, keeping shelves faced and tidy, noting low inventory sites for fast reorders and providing in-store product knowledge to store staff. The development is significant for Winning Brands and its business plan because it represents Winning Brands' emerging "National Brand" standard of excellence in the practical aspects that govern growth of sales and reputation amongst "national retail banner" category of business partners. The net effect of such programs has been shown to be enhanced sales per store for mutual benefit with the retail partners. Such measures take the professionalism of the business relationship with such retailers to the highest level - "Best Practices". This is key for Winning Colours Stain Remover because it is being positioned to become North America's favourite stain removing product.

The custom designed Winning Colours Stain Remover In-Store Ambassadorship Program will provide experienced, detail oriented field representatives to stores in an expanding arc of target markets, commencing with the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), North America's 5th largest city after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Field communications for the Winning Brands program will include live web reporting for quick and accurate reaction times. Information will include the results of Field Audits by which Winning Brands will ensure a consistent level of quality to its in-store presence and dispersion of product knowledge amongst store staff. Through such means Winning Brands is developing the internal infrastructure to partner with any national retail banners in Canada and the United States. Following the initial audit visits, continuity visits will address in-store staff turnover, new Point of Purchase opportunities and cross promotions for mutual benefit with the retail partners. The initiative coincides with an enhanced Winning Colours Stain Remover media plan for the GTA market to be unveiled week of December 8, 2008.

winning brands will have to do an r/s eventually right? Don't they have like 5 billion shares outstanding?

As at September 15, 2008 the “float” of free trading common stock of Winning Brands Corporation is approximately 696,511,641 shares. These are the only common shares available for trading. This is because approximately 150 Million of the 846,511,641 Million issued and outstanding common shares are still restricted from trading under "144" provisions and not in circulation.

Eric (CEO) has said on different occasions that he will do a share by back eventually, This will lower the float and help raise the PPS with out a R/S. His plans are.....first releasing the NA, then finanicals then start doing a share buy back. Right at this moment we are waiting for the NA to be announced.

SOURCE: Winning Brands Corporation Nov 24, 2008 15:54 ETDry Cleaner Sales of Winning Brands' KINDTM Laundry Detergent for Households Begins Wright/Cotty's Cleaners Introduces Winning Brands' KINDTM Line-Up as a Value Breakthrough for Laundromat Customers -- $0.25 per Load Is the Benchmark

Wright/Cotty's Cleaners Manager Pat at the Cundles Road location shows off new household laundry detergent line available through dry cleaners called KIND(TM). Manufacturer Winning Brands wants the dry cleaning industry to know that they no longer have to be locked out of the huge North American retail sales volume of laundry detergent to consumers. BARRIE, ON--(Marketwire - November 24, 2008) - Winning Brands Corporation (PINKSHEETS: WNBD) (FRANKFURT: WMU) (www.WinningBrands.ca) reports that its new KIND™ Laundry Products line has been installed for retail sale at the facilities of Wright/Cotty's Cleaners as the first of dry cleaning establishments to offer the new domestic laundry products range to consumers directly for their household washables.

The fact that dry cleaners can offer KIND™ Laundry Products to their dry cleaning customers for use at home for household washables is a significant development for Winning Brands because of the fact that there are approximately 35,000 dry cleaners in North America that have been left out of the equation when consumers purchase their domestic laundry detergent in supermarkets. With the arrival of KIND™ Laundry Products to dry cleaners for their consumers, the professional garment cleaning industry has a chance to share in some of the nation's annual spending on domestic laundry detergent. The sale of conventional brands of laundry detergent by dry cleaners is not attractive to any party as those products are already widely available and provide no distinction to the dry cleaner as a retailer. However the sale by dry cleaners of a specially designed high quality product that professional garment cleaners can recommend is a different matter. KIND™ Laundry Products are manufactured by Winning Brands, the same company making news for its progress in Professional Wet Cleaning through its SMART™ Wet Cleaning Solutions. KIND™ is available to dry cleaners for their consumers regardless of the technical system the dry cleaner uses for professional garment care because KIND™ is designed for use by consumers at home for their household washables.

The added appeal for Wright/Cotty's is that their facilities include Laundromat services. Therefore, Wright/Cotty's customers can reduce their Laundromat cost per load for detergent from approximately $1 per use of vending machine single dose packaging to only $0.25 per load with KIND™ 3X Concentrate 1 L bottle.

Winning Brands National Sales Manager Patricia Diane Miles unveiled the first Wright/Cotty's facility in Ontario today with the Winning Brands' specially designed rolling display that has become a favourite amongst its retail partners, as shown in the attached picture. "It's terrific to see our merchandising package come together so nicely," says Miles. "The bottom line is that the customers arriving into the facility get the message fast that an ordinary national brand is available for $1 per load, or a new approach is available for $0.25 per load with a great cleaning result as well. As for Wright/Cotty's dry cleaning customers, it's interesting for them to be able to take home a domestic laundry detergent that their professional garment cleaners can recommend. The permanent smile on my face is because I have so much good news to share with people that I meet wherever I go!" Miles adds. The first U.S. dry cleaning facilities to offer KIND™ to consumers will be announced separately.

Winning Brands Corporation manufactures KIND™ Laundry Detergent, Fabric Softener and Laundry Stain Remover for consumer and commercial use as an eco-responsible and value alternative to ordinary brands. Large scale production takes place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil, LLC to augment Winning Brands' Canadian production. . Winning Brands' full product range includes a variety of advanced cleaning solutions, such as its non-toxic SMART™ Wet Cleaning liquids (alternative to perchloroethylene used in dry cleaning), Winning Colours® Stain Remover and CLEAN1™ -- the first choice in outdoor cleaning, amongst others. The company's mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives. The initial focus is on cleaning products.

Re: News or no news; that is the question - 11 Nov

TUCSON, AZ, Nov 20, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Winning Brands Corporation (PINKSHEETS: WNBD) (FRANKFURT: WMU) (www.WinningBrands.ca) reports that its Winning Colours Stain Remover will be taken into inventory and be put into immediate distribution by Tennessee's H.G. Lipscomb & Company -- a hardware distributor founded in 1892. The announcement was made by Winning Brands Senior V.P. Lorne Kelly at the 2009 PRO Group/DA Executive Planning Conference: http://www.pro-group.com/Pages/AboutUs/AboutUs.asp. The announcement coincides with PRO Group granting Lipsomb the Merchandising Distributor-of-the-Year Award during ceremonies earlier in the day for excellence in Lipscomb's implementation of PRO Group merchandising initiatives and Lipscomb's excellence in fulfillment standards. H.G. Lipscomb & Company is a member distributor of PRO Group. Winning Brands had earlier obtained formal vendor status with PRO Group but is now getting traction with its distributor members as the word spreads at the grass roots level that Winning Colours Stain Remover is a significant new product to the industry. The 2008 conference was held in conjunction with Distribution America, a well-known distributor services company.

Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner puts the development into perspective. "People can see that we are systematically enlarging Winning Colours Stain Remover's presence amongst distributors serving thousands of independent retailers in this sector nationwide. We are after a mix. A variety of sizes, geographic focus and areas of expertise amongst distributors and retailers is the best arrangement for a strong brand, because it protects Winning Brands from over reliance on any one source of business. The Lipscomb family has been involved in this distributorship for generations and from what I hear about the latest crop of young Lipsombs who are still kids, we may be lucky enough to see this Tennessee tradition carry on for decades to come. How proud we are that this venerable Tennessee family institution has chosen to make Winning Colours Stain Remover a part of their operation for the benefit of their customers," remarks Lehner.

As Winning Brands' operational presence in the USA grows, additional team members are taking charge of the newest assignments. In the Southeast, this includes C.E. Norman, Key Account Manager. Mr. Norman's years of experience include Retail Store Management and Director of Sales for several large corporations. His view of the development with H.G. Lipscomb & Company is to provide headquarters personnel and the Lipscomb sales force with marketing ideas and sales tools to inform their members that Winning Colours Stain Remover will be a "win-win" product for all parties.

Lorne Kelly adds that there have been other developments at the PRO Group conference that will be assimilated and announced in due course as arrangements of various kinds are implemented to deepen the penetration of Winning Colours Stain Remover to the sector. "Our goal is simple -- wherever paint is sold, Winning Colours has a role to play. Winning Colours makes paint clean-up easy like nothing else -- period. And this is just one of several sectors in which Winning Colours Stain Remover can earn the reputation of being North America's favourite stain removing product."

Winning Brands Corporation manufactures Winning Colours Stain Remover for consumer and commercial use as an eco-responsible alternative to traditional solvents. It is gaining popularity for its uncommon gentleness to skin and delicate surfaces while still being a powerful and versatile stain remover. Main production takes place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil LLC with some sizes manufactured at Winning Brands' St. Catharines, Ontario facility. Winning Brands' full product range includes a variety of advanced cleaning solutions, such as its non-toxic SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning solution (alternative to perchloroethylene used in dry cleaning), KIND(TM) Laundry Products, CLEAN1(TM) -- the first choice in outdoor cleaning and TrackMoist(TM) Dust Suppression Solution for dirt race tracks, construction sites and other settings where water consumption is high because of the use of water trucks to dampen outdoor dust. Winning Brands mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives. The initial focus is on cleaning products.

Re: News or no news; that is the question - 11 Nov

I wouldn't worry about the flippers today. Might just be tax loss selling or desperation salvage any change you can selling. I'm a long term investor and anyone in this company should be the same.

Infomercials would be great for exposure I think.
